It has also been used as an example of best practice for other caving regions such as Before you start…. Yorkshire (CNCC), out of which has grown the Northern Caves Project. A Guide to Good Practice Monitoring forms have been devised for each cave system and cavers are asked to complete these on return to the surface to provide information on the condition of the cave and the specified features in it. Natural England stress that monitoring can only take place if it forms part of a normal caving trip. On completion the form is sent via DCA’s Conservation Officer to Natural England who are then able to make an overall assessment of the condition of the cave system. The scheme is ongoing and it is hoped to have a steady flow of forms Speleothems: Dreamtime roof decoration.

  • Peak District Mines Historical Society Ltd
    Peak District Mines Historical Society Ltd. Newsletter No. 142 April 2012 The Observations and Discoveries; Their Tenth Birthday! In this Newsletter we depart from what has become tradition and do not have a normal issue of Peak District Mines Observations and Discoveries, but instead have an index of the first forty sets of notes; ten years on since the first, this seems a perfect time to do this. The onerous task of compiling this index has fallen to Adam Russell, who very kindly volunteered to do this without prompting from us. We are very grateful. When we started I don’t think we ever envisaged there would be so many notes and with failing memory there is an increasing need to have an index to help easily find the various jottings when we need to refer back to something. We also take this opportunity to thank the many people who have contributed notes over the years – these have enlivened the Observations and Discoveries no end. This said, we always need more – if you have found something new or interesting, explored a shaft people don’t often go down or entered a mine where there is no readily available description of what is there, please consider writing a short note. There are literally hundreds of mines in the Peak where we have no idea what lies below ground – most were presumably explored in the 60s or 70s but often nothing was written down, and a new generation is now having to reinvent the wheel. We were gratified to learn, from the Reader Survey on the content of the newsletter that Steve undertook last year, just how much you, the readers, appreciated these notes.

  • Wright, Paul (2018) Anglo-Saxon Lead from the Peak District
    UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM Department of Archaeology ‘Anglo-Saxon lead from the Peak District; where does it lead? A new approach to sourcing Anglo-Saxon lead’ By Paul Wright, BSc., PhD. MRSC. Module MR4120 Dissertation presented for MSc (by research) in Archaeology September 2017 1 I certify that: a) The following dissertation is my own original work b) The source of all non-original material is clearly indicated c) All material presented by me for other modules is clearly indicated. d) All assistance has been acknowledged 2 ABSTRACT The lead industry, like others, declined and then collapsed at the end of Roman Britain and both the Romano-British and Anglo-Saxons recycled metal for a long period before fresh lead appeared. A new methodology has been developed, which uses tin as a marker for recycled Roman lead. Analysis of lead artefacts shows that along the Derwent/ Trent/ Humber corridor recycled Roman lead was continuing in use in the 5th-7th centuries, and plentiful fresh lead first appears in the record in the 9th century, with no tin. There is a widespread gap in artefacts from the 8th century, which implies that recycled lead had been exhausted. The main source of Anglo-Saxon lead in this region is probably the Derbyshire Peak District, but the lead isotope analysis is not definitive, due to the normal constraints such as the overlap of ore field signatures. Also the analytical method gives a broad peak, which reduces discrimination. The recent method of Pollard and Bray, which asks about what differences in lead isotope ratios show rather than provenance have been employed.
